maybe i have it all wrong - just looking for thoughts from people who may know more about this subject than I do.

if the observable universe is made up mostly of dark matter, and if light is both a particle and a wave, then what is happening to all the light that is being emitted in every direction by stars?

are there any theories about all the light that is emitted but not absorbed or reflected by regular matter in the universe (not dark matter)?

are there any theories about the edges of the universe being composed of light particles or photons and such?

everything in the universe that has no occupation is filled with dark matter. the edges of the universe and beyond are filled with dark matter.

light goes on unrestricted by dark matter. so i suppose that yeah, the edges of the universe would have a bunch of light particles that keep moving out. there would be light particles that are still moving past the edges of the universe.

but as long as nothings in the way, they'll keep moving.

The dark matter does not absorb light, so most of the light produced by stars merely keeps going forever in the direction it was emitted. There is no edge of the universe to be composed of anything; every photon travelling in every direction keeps passing stars and galaxies all the way without end.

Photon is a misnomer about light. In physics it represents the energy of light radiation power falling on a surface for one second.
In reality light flux that we receive from combustion process of nuclear fusion process from the Sun , is basically composed of micromass. Now that we understand that ,if light is a micromass it is the smallest and lightest mass in the Universe.
Hence it makes sense to deduct that all mass structures in the Universe must be composed of the same substance that light is made of.
Therefore electrons,protons and Neutrons ar made of the same basic substance.

Now the Substance of space called dark matter is really what the composition of space structure is made of.

Light micromasses are emited from Stars just like light is emitted from the Sun reaching the Earth.
Some of the light micromasses is absorbed by the earth and some expands into space as entropy. Some of micromass radiation gets aborbed by other stars and or Galaxies and the
the rest is entropy.
The Universe is a finite containment ; so the radiative energy from Galaxies remains contained in the Universal volume ,and shows up in Cosmology as a temperature average of 2.7 k.

Its very vely simple.

I think the dark matter is over played. If light can get here from a million light years away and if u look at it with a telescope u can see the light very clear.

mild (or yet another undemanding particle, for that remember) will shuttle in a hazard wave and the hazard will fall down on the ingredient of detection. that's beneficial to examine Feynmann's "sum-over-paths" description to get a sparkling image of the belief.
